The Spaceman Sputnik I: Tactical Fuzz Tone in a Rugged Green Finish
This is a Pre-Order listing scheduled to ship November 2025 subject to manufacturer availability 

Military Inspired Looks with Studio Grade Sound

The Olive Drab Edition of the Spaceman Sputnik I pairs the celebrated silicon fuzz circuit with a muted, combat-ready green finish. Built around hand-selected NOS silicon transistors, this edition delivers reliable, high-headroom fuzz that responds to nuance while shrugging off the volatility of germanium designs. Its military styling matches its tone: bold, precise, and unapologetically aggressive when needed.

Mission Ready Control Layout

Core controls include Range for setting the amount of gain and fuzz saturation, Calibrate for fine-tuning the EQ curve in tandem with Range, and Level for master output. The Scan knob introduces interactive modulation when Drift mode is engaged. Filter shifts the frequency response to a tighter, scooped character, while the Sync and Drift toggles push the circuit into wild oscillations, upper harmonics, and signal-bending artifacts. These controls provide immediate access to both traditional and extreme fuzz tones.

Handcrafted Durability and Compact Design

Hand built in Portland, Oregon, the Olive Drab Sputnik I features hand wired, through hole construction housed in a cast aluminum enclosure. Laser engraved graphics, soft click true bypass switching, and top mounted jacks deliver pro-level performance and board friendly convenience. Power is supplied via standard 9 volt DC center negative input or internal battery compartment.

Versatile Tone Weapon for the Fuzz Commander

The Sputnik I in Olive Drab is just as comfortable delivering warm, sustaining vintage fuzz tones as it is launching into unpredictable, synth-like chaos. It shines in lead applications, ambient builds, or as a textural tool for sonic experimentation. Its dynamic response and stacking potential make it a flexible fuzz solution for modern pedalboards.

Consistent in the Trenches

Thanks to its silicon-based circuit, the Sputnik I holds tone across temperature changes and environmental extremes. Whether in a temperature-controlled studio or a crowded live rig, this edition performs with confidence. With a tough exterior and an expansive interior voice, the Olive Drab Edition is ready for any sonic battlefield.
